I suppose there isn't much.

Dividends are free cash that the company distributes to shareholders whereas it ought to reward the workers imo. I see it as peak siphoning profit away from the working class to the "ruling" class (who don't contribute anything).

Capital gains and the whole stock market are bad too. As is our tired, biased tax code.

Jesus... a lot to fix.

...so let people die, stop caring for our neighbours, allow ignorance and illiteracy to fester. Seems extreme and misplaced.

A better, less-nihilistic approach might be: stop buying things, cancel subscriptions, sell dividend-paying stocks, etc. Or even better: a general strike.

How are you (OP) blaming the "middle" class? What could you suggest nurses, teachers, fire fighters, etc do to solve the problem of wealth inequality?

I genuinely want to know because it seems to me that we control nothing and have no excess to give.

I agree. Consider this situation:

"In one case known to +972 Magazine, an Iranian missile hit its target while fragments struck a nearby educational facility. Yet the media was only allowed to report on the latter, without being able to even mention the former or inspect the damage."

This results in inaccurate reporting. The facts are distorted to make it seem that a school was the intended target, when in fact it was not.

IMO, the balance is lost to censorship.
